              My GS1100 Shafty

              It's nothing compared to most of the other bikes in this thread, but here's my GS1100 Shafty. I call it the Marauder. I bought it to pillage and plunder on long rides, as my 360 isn't the most comfortable for doing so.

              The Craigslist ad picture....


              Wrecked the bike on a group ride when we hit some black ice. Seven bikes in our group went down. I almost parted the bike out, but some words of encouragement from some friends, including another member here, put me back in the right state of mind and I got back to work on it pretty quickly.



              And here she is pretty much done. My last mods for the foreseeable future are going to be Dyna Green coils and Progressive suspension front and rear. Most of the parts are sitting in my buddies shop while I get around to buying the front springs next month.

              Colors are BMW Titan Silver and British Racing Green. First time doing body and paint.


              New euro bars, grips, mirror, signals, lowered the headlight an inch with new brackets.


              Pin striping by Wolf


              Mini gauges from Dime City Cycles


              Lowered the front end a half inch, bobbed both fenders, V&H exhaust with a K&N filter and Stage 1 jet kit.






              Gotta love being shameless.....

                That is a very nice (show quality) example of a custom motorcycle. It seems sorta pure minimalistic and sleek gives it a 'today look' without seemingly losing any of the original look.

                Well done that man

                  I like the gauges and the new lines of the front guard look cool. You have done a great job in the details

                    So thats what my G would look like with bobbed fenders... I like it. I've thought about it for a while, especially the rear one. Nice work Indesol. I really like the colors and the pin striping is a great detail.

                    Great looking bike.

                        Hate?! Not from me at least. I love what you've done to it.

                        Fantastic work! I want to see it finished. It looks like an awesome bike to me.

                        How did you do the tank dents? Hammer?

                          Not really a lot of custom work but the colour sure is

                              I dig it. What are the front end and swinger/rear end off?

                              And thanks for the compliments on mine, folks. It's done for me, but that doesn't mean I'm not glad others like it.

                                Suspension looks like its early gsxr stuff. But I could be wrong.
